MRS Qt SDK

Build from Source

This guide walks you through the supported maintainer build flow for the SDK.

Install Dependencies

Section titled “Install Dependencies”

You will need Qt, Conan 2, CMake, Ninja, and a Go toolchain.

Terminal window
python3 -m pip install --user conan
conan profile detect --force

Native build

Section titled “Native build”

  1. Clone the repository:

    Terminal window
    git clone https://gitlab.com/mrs-electronics/sdk/qt.git mrs-sdk-qt
    cd mrs-sdk-qt

  2. Install third-party dependencies with Conan:

    Terminal window
    conan install . --build=missing -s build_type=Release -s compiler.cppstd=11

  3. Configure the native preset with your local Qt installation:

    Terminal window
    cmake --preset native-conan -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/Qt/6.8.0/gcc_64

  4. Build the SDK:

    Terminal window
    cmake --build --preset native-conan

  5. Package the split SDK archives:

    Terminal window
    cpack --config build/native-conan/CPackConfig.cmake

Cross-target packaging

Section titled “Cross-target packaging”

The repository also includes helper CLIs for target-specific packaging:

Terminal window
go run ./target-support/cmd/mrsqt-setup config set --target mconn-buildroot-qt5.9 --product-sdk-root /opt/product-sdks/mconn-buildroot
go run ./cmd/mrsqt-builder release-targets mconn-buildroot-qt5.9

For routine packaging, you can also use:

Terminal window
scripts/release-targets.sh --all
